<div class="assert">If you use a BR at the end of a block structuring element (ex: BLOCKQUOTE) 
or block structuring sub element (ex: LI), you may need to use two consecutive line 
breaks to produce a visual space in a document. This is because there is already 
an implied line break at the end of block structures.</div>
